Dr. Sara Hegy is an award-winning scientist turned visionary leadership expert and coach, committed to helping high-performing minds achieve not just success — but fulfillment.
Raised in an environment where results defined self-worth, she knows firsthand the silent pressure many driven professionals face. Despite excelling academically lifelong, she struggled to develop her SELF and skills during her PhD — until coaching gave her the clarity, language, actions and structure to transform her inner world.
Armed with science-backed mindset shifts and courageous action, she published her first author Nature paper titled: Ahmed, S.M.H., Maldera, J.A., Krunic, D. et al. Fitness trade-offs incurred by ovary-to-gut steroid signalling in Drosophila. Nature 584, 415–419 (2020), graduated with highest honors, won a prestigious the Richtzenhain Prize, and her research helped secure a $2.7 million grant from the NIH, USA.
Today, as the founder of a german company that serves globally, Dr. Hegy trains and coaches passionate purpose-driven leaders to create massively — while living lives they cherish.
Her mission is clear: to bridge science and soul, performance and purpose, so leaders no longer have to choose between results and well-being.
